I ended up getting a Quest 3 : \ I’ll try it for a bit before buying accessories, but I’m thinking the ‘open’ interface and some 3rd party strap to deal with the warmth and pressure points. MR blew me away and the OS has improved a lot. I could see using this as a work monitor for an hour here and there. Weight is my biggest gripe. Hand tracking is neat but not accurate or precise, it gets the job done. Passthrough cameras are funny but it doesn’t really hinder the experience of moving around doing basic motor tasks.
The display resolution is good, contrast less so. I’ve only noticed this for movies.
It’s everything I expected, the only thing I wish it had was eye tracking.
Scores based on nothing:
- Visuals: 7/10
- Weight: 5/10
- Hand tracking: 4/10
- Software: 6/10
- Apps: 7/10
- Passthrough: 4/10
I went ahead today after a lot of deliberation and bought one. Big upgrade from the Go but also familiar in a lot of ways (not comfortable, hot, sort of nauseating). I’m happy. I cleaned the kitchen for the first time in a week. It took me out of my head for a few hours and that’s what I wanted.
Should I get Quest 3 or 3s
Should I get Quest 3 or 3s - Lemmy.World
Having troubles deciding like me? Reddit and youtube not helping? Just spend several hours researching and thinking about it like me! Here’s where my thoughts have landed. I’m ordering the 3s 128gb. MSRP: 512gb quest 3 ($679) or 128/256 quest 3s ($399/$549) + 5% tax https://www.meta.com/ca/quest/compare/ [https://www.meta.com/ca/quest/compare/] People on Facebook marketplace asking $200 for Quest 2, may include good strap on. Similar specs to 3s minus snapdragon gen 2 and passthrough colour. Quest 4 rumoured 1.5-2 years, 2026 ~500g is the weight of a 350 page book. Attach one to your face like I did to “feel VR”. We are not on the moon yet. I like comparing costs by looking at how much it costs per month. Cost per month (year 1, year 2, year 3 including $50 apps each year): $25/17/13: 2 $43/26/19: 3s $56/32/23: 3s $68/38/27: 3 If you sell 2 years from now, the total cost per month over 2 years is: $11: 2 $20: 3s $24: 3s $28: 3 All of these fit into my ‘entertainment’ budget, but I don’t expect to use it a lot, mostly for movies, and I don’t like paying for storage. I get by, I always do. I had the Go and found it adequate. I intend to lend it out to friends and family for long periods of time. I think the headsets are still too heavy, and even though the 3 is an improvement in critical areas I think it’s incremental and I know I’m going to want the Quest 4 or whatever comes next. If I were on the edge of my budget even considering this gadget then a used 2 would be a solid choice (eg. imo when discretionary spending is <$10,000/yr). The new processor in the quest 3s may extend it’s life bringing the total cost down even though it loses the 3.5 jack for some reason.
I drink lots of coffee and I like it
I drink lots of coffee and I like it - Lemmy.World
Drugs, alcohol, and now coffee! I’ve used a variety of substances to self medicate while in a depressed mood. A few years ago I cut out cannabis, and I stay away from using alcohol when I’m down, but I have no limits with coffee. It seems like I can drink as much as I want whenever I want and it doesn’t create the same problems it does when my mood is better.
VR headsets to escape and relax
Does Linux emit random sounds or wake up in the middle of the night?
Does Linux emit random sounds or wake up in the middle of the night? - Lemmy.World
This is my most needed feature in linux. I want zero ‘connect/disconnect’ sounds and if the laptop is asleep I don’t want it to wake up in the middle of the night for no reason. I have an infinite supply of Windows laptops from work but I hate them with a burning passion and I can’t afford to replace my Macbook. If someone can tell me what linux distro is the most silent and least annoying I will erase my entire Windows partition this weekend.
Union fees and dues
Union fees and dues - Lemmy.World
Another union question… One major obstacle to forming a union are union dues/fees. I understand these are required to pay for legal, administrative, and compliance needs. I wonder how simple this could get to keep fees down. I know that if the agreement is missing sections the relevant Employment Standard statement takes over. How much of union admin can be automated? Anyone here work inside a union?
Why don't unions ask for more?
Why don't unions ask for more? - Lemmy.World
I’m hoping someone with knowledge of collective agreements and unions can help me understand why union members would agree to 2 weeks vacation. Doesn’t a union hold more power for negotiation? This is what I’m reading: https://www.lrb.bc.ca/media/21794/download?inline More than 1 year of continuous employment -> 2 weeks From what I can tell this is less than most regular employers (maybe food industry is like that though). I’m looking at forming a collective agreement at my workplace but seeing this result is discouraging.
The Guest House - Rumi
The Guest House - Rumi - Lemmy.World
This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. - Jalaluddin Rumi https://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/guest-house/
